Minister to attend PT meeting on PEC to end 6x1 work schedule

José Guimarães will join a PT Senate caucus meeting on Tuesday to set strategies for advancing a proposal to end the 6x1 work schedule.

Institutional Relations Minister José Guimarães will take part on Tuesday (9) in a meeting of the PT Senate caucus. The aim is to outline strategies on the processing of the PEC that ends the 6x1 scale and to counter opposition arguments. The Brazilian Confederation of Commercial and Business Associations released a manifesto in support of Senator Rogério Marinho’s alternative PEC that provides for payment by the hour worked. The CACB document states that real life does not fit into a closed box and defends workers’ freedom of choice.
